- The Polish Ministry of Finance clarified VAT rules for determining a fixed establishment under the mandatory National e-Invoice System (KSeF) effective February 1, 2026.
- KSeF invoicing applies to businesses with a registered seat in Poland and to foreign businesses with a fixed establishment in Poland involved in the specific transaction.
- A fixed establishment requires sufficient permanence and adequate human and technical resources in Poland; simply having a Polish VAT number is not enough.
- Sellers must provide structured invoices in an agreed format (e.g., paper or PDF) if the buyer lacks a registered seat or relevant fixed establishment in Poland.
- The Ministry provided 15 practical examples to help businesses understand and apply these rules.
